 Coolness: 149495 | Satellite-guided carts for frustrated shoppers
Wednesday, April 30, 2003 Posted: 11:55 PM EDT (0355 GMT) LONDON, England (Reuters) -- For frustrated shoppers who spend hours searching for an elusive item, help is on the way -- in the form of a satellite-guided shopping cart. Product designer Murray Laidlaw has fitted a shopping cart with a global positioning system, or GPS, to guide shoppers to their products, the Daily Mail newspaper reported Wednesday. GPS, initially designed for the U.S. military, will guide shoppers by showing arrows on a screen that shows them the correct shelf. The device, which will sit on the cart's handle, will also suggest recipes, alert customers to special offers and work out the quickest route around the store. "Lots of people just don't shop in a methodical manner," Laidlaw told the paper. "This device will make shopping trips less confusing and time-consuming." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2003 Reuters .
